Hypocrite

This is actually about my dad and how I felt when he made me feel like a hypocrite. the original title was "You have a point" but i felt like that sounded sarcastic and it needed to sound genuine.

You knocked me down a peg this time, Though I hate it that you have control I admit I can’t always be right, But this blow is really taking a toll Though you were the wrong one, But now I’m facedown on the ground You took all my accusations, And you turned them right back around No one likes a finger When it’s pointed directly at you I don’t like hearing lies, But I really don’t like hearing the truth Not wearing a mask, But I still have two faces It feels like I’m looking In all the wrong places My pride’s never been hurt like this
